Negative Magic: Curses, Hexes, & Jinxes
What is a hex? jinx? curse?
Hex: Usually impacts only one aspect of life for a certain period of time. Very painful but doesn't last forever.
Jinx: An annoyance that nags and irritates you, akin to bad luck.
Curse: Can impact all areas of life but not very severely, or impacts one aspect of life very severely. Long lasting. Although not common, with enough energy, it can affect generation after generation.
What are the differences?
They are all types of negative magic. Meaning they are designed to bring about negative outcomes in a situation or on a person.
They are on a scale. It gets increasingly more intense in this order (least intense to most intense): jinx, hex, curse.
Curses are typically purposefully cast, where as jinxes and hexes are sometimes cast accidentally. Although they can also all be purposefully cast.

Is this type of magic immoral?
Note: If this goes against your morals, you don't have to practice this type of magic. But for some who are considering this, this may help figure out if it goes against their morals. I'm simply offering the other side of the coin here.
Reason for immortality: There are other alternatives. Kill them with kindness.
In some cases this may work. Always consider your options before jumping into something. However, sometimes using this type of magic is the answer. Return to sender magic or practicing negative magic is best in some cases.
Reason for immortality: It's against the Wiccan reed.
Witchcraft does not equal Wicca and vice versa. Not all witches are Wiccan and not all Wiccans are witches. So not all witches abide by the Wiccan reed. Some practice Christianity, some practice Judaism, some practice Buddhism, some are secular. Everyone is different.
Why would this type of magic backfire?
Ancestors, spirits, familiars are likely to block the magic from being fulfilled. This is possible for even those who don't practice magic as most people have ancestors or spirits around them.
Protections and wards usually send the spell back to you.
You don't fully release the energy of the spell. This may cause the energy of the spell to stick to you, which causes you to feel the negativity instead of the desired target.
How do I avoid this?
You may want to do the spell on a situation instead of the person. Or put a spell on an object they usually interact with like a piece of jewelry.
Release your energy effectively. This takes a lot of practice.
You may want to take cleansing baths or perform other cleansing rituals after the spell.
Ensure that all tools are cleansed before performing the spell. The energies that linger on the tool may interfere with the spell you are trying to cast.
